Hi,
Could someone please outline the steps needed in porting a general application
from
Linux to FreeBSD.

If the thing is not tightly coupled to the kernel, the general
compile guide to the software you try to compile will suffice
most of the time.

Obvious question but if you edited configure.ac, you did remember to
rerun autoconf afterwards didn't you?
Uh ... no. (When I said complete novice, wasn't kidding. :-)
Not knowing C/++ when you want to port a C/C++ program makes it very
hard

Quick checking suggests libttf is a Linux-ism, replaced by
libfreetype. Is this correct, and if so can I just (temporarily)
make the change in the list of libraries?
Why not just try it?
Note, there is/was freetype1 and freetype2...

First problem:
Looks like bash-isms in configure.
When following the instructions here

get to step 2 (configure) and get this:

I had already figured out replacing make with gmake; this
should have been obvious.

Looking at configure.ac, I see:

This should be a =, not a ==.
Same result.

Whichever file is being compiled has a line that should be changed from

Done. Merrily compiling away.

New problem.
One of the files has:
#ifdef LINUX
#include sys/mman.h
#endif
What is the FreeBSD magic tag corresponding to LINUX?
__FREEBSD__?
